Hey guys, I have a female friend who I've known for about 4 years now. We're quite close and hang out all the time, my problem lies in that I'm getting mixed signals from her.

My main problem with women is that I can't seem to distinguish friendliness from something more, but after reading The Game and looking up more on the pick up community I'm starting to think about it more.

She's a very flirty person who I feel comfortable around because I don't think there's much there, so I neg her in a friendly way (before I even knew about negging) and she seems to respond with IOI's.

She even goes as far to leaving the person she's talking to (in mid convo) to come and greet me with a hug and a huge smile. All along I've thought of her as just being friendly, but all this time I can see IOI's that have occured.

What should I do?

just game man..

She obviously likes you in some way. So whats the harm in pushing forward?.. Read a bit more material, then go out and win the girl.

If she is not into you, than you have still lost nothing.

just don't telegraph interest.

Thanks for the tips.

I was thinking of doing some simple things like the "5 question, lie answer" game and then when we're close face-to-face, just say: "you look like you wanna kiss me" and see what she says.

I suppose there's no harm in saying that, because I'm not saying I want to kiss her or that she should kiss me - it's an open ended statement.

maybe, don't go for the kiss too soon..

You seem relatively new at this,

I'm feeling kind of sick, and i'm stuck on the couch, so i'll give you an overview of "The Game" and how I would play this situation..

Now The "You look like you want to kiss me" is a great k- close, because it gives you an out of "whoah girl! I didn't say you could... it just looked like you had something on your mind"... However, you do wanna makes sure you have built up enough attraction AND comfort.

It will take more than one gambit (Or game/routine) to build up these 2 areas of this specific pickup.

If you didn't know.. here you go.. if you did, it's a great review
--------

Mystery breaks down pickup into three unique steps

Attraction

Comfort

Seduction

and in each of these sections, he breaks them down into three subsections each
A1, A2, A3.. C1, C2, C3.. S1, S2, S3

A1 is the Approach..
You've already met this girl, and even received IOI's so You don't need to worry there.. For more specifics on how to properly follow the method, refer to "The Mystery Method" by Mystery or Erik Von Markovitch.

Thats your call

But what you do need to take from that is, You still need to build up attraction, so try negging the target, and DHVing. next time you see her, Situational negs are realy effective if placed well.

tell a story that displays how badass you are. if she looses interest, or interupts say something like "Geez.. Hello I'm talking here" or something like that

You can use the 5 question game by style, but mix it up too! Use other gambits, or routines.. Go to the routines section of this forum, learn 4 or 5 really good ones (I'd reccomend The Cube, or something) and keep conversation going for QUITE some time before you try the k-close.

Check out my thread on how to "Never Stall in Conversation"
[conversation-topics-never-stall-in-conv ... highlight=

and once you've reached a point where you know she's got that attraction built up, then go for the kiss close. and the one you mentioned above is a really good one.

Thanks for the tips there, I am very new to this. Tomorrow day will be my first day game attempt and tomorrow night will be my first night trying MM.

I'd say my success rate for women is about 80-20, with 80 being unsuccessful. But after reading The Game and looking up the online community for PUA, I now have new things to try and learn from where I've gone wrong in the past.

I do think that I should try and build up gradually as you say. I'm not getting my hopes up and wouldn't want to lose her as a friend, but rather gain closure on the situation and see what comes of it.

I've not heard of the Cube, but I'll have a look for it.

Cheers again!
